Bart von Bilden is a very sweet 18 month old German Shepherd. As his pictures suggest, he is recovering from a non-contagious skin issue and will look furry and hunky in no time. He’s happy with himself, wagging his tail as he takes walks with you, and he does not pull on his leash. An out-going, mid-energy guy, he looks forward to meeting new people and usually says hello by licking your hand. His curiosity prompts him to investigate whatever you are doing: if you are looking for something in your wallet, he is nosing in there too. If the toy barrel is full, he is burrowing his way down to the bottom. Bart likes to check out all the smells in our doggie play yard but stops each time a new dog joins the group so that he can check it out too. An even-tempered boy, Bart excels in cuddling next to you while you read the LA Times or tune into the news.
